66 to Cali is the original Route 66 shop in Santa Monica. We have been welcoming travelers to the road's traditional ending and educating visitors about Route 66 since 2009, the same year we created the world-famous Santa Monica 66 End of the Trail™ sign. We specialize in local and USA-made apparel, souvenirs, decorations, and guide books and offer expert info on traveling Historic Route 66 and other scenic or historic roads.

We’re looking for 1-2 additions to join our team in the dual role of sales associate and ambassador for Route 66 at our kiosk on Santa Monica Pier.
